Do you know when night starts and ends? If nighttime starts when the sun sets around 5:30 and MIDnight (middle of the night) is at 12:00, then night should end at 6:30 when the sun rises. If this is true then why would we say `good morning` at 3:00 AM if it`s really night?

Generally, to me, it's night when it gets dark and it's day when I get up to go to work or to go somewhere anytime after, say, 5 a.m. If I get up at 3 a.m., I consider that it's still nighttime.
